Mafia Games

Alright, I'm running a short test game through my head and was wondering if the no more than 1 mafia game also applies to a small test game as well?

Like it would be a 9 player game. Each day and night phase are one 24 hours each. (Game would be over WITHIN 16 days of real life regardless)

This is a special 'infected' game I'm thinking about and it may be interesting to see how well balanced it is. It's more of an experiment than an actual game and it would consist of a few special roles that no one really has seen before.

Would anyone be in if I made it? It'd require you to be active enough to be ready to post/make NA every day.

Alright, if 4 more agree from here I'll make an official sign up thread and we'd only need 4 more people then ^^

Damn, with my current work schedule, I would be unable to post for 8+ hours per day. I don't think I'd be able to be active enough to post enough times per day.

Aye, wouldn't be much of a burden for me, I think.

i've been thinking of a mafia game but i can barely play so i clearly can't mod.
basically the game starts as normal with mafia, town and perhaps some 3rd party players.
but it gets interesting once people start dying. there's a 33% chance that a dead player becomes a zombie and a 66% chance that he becomes a ghost.

ghosts can talk to each other at night and can kill people. however each person has a certain resistance to ghosts. so it takes 1 ghost to kill a VT, 2 ghosts to kill a town power role and 3 to kill a mafia. then the dead person either becomes a ghost or a zombie.
ghosts win if no living person is left.

zombies also act during the night and they can kill anybody. the trick is that if they attack a person with a killing role (mafia, sk, vig, pgo) then they die (for good). however, when this happens there's a scene explicitly saying who was targeted and this way people find out that person has killing capabilities so they can go for a lynch (if they also suspect he's scum) or the mafia can kill him at night if they know he's town. zombies also win if there's no living person left.

additional roles may be added for the town to deal with the undead (priest/exorcist).

obviously this game would fit best for at least 16 people.

It's just a test so don't really worry about activity. Just try to post at least once/twice a day or something :)

I can go for that.

Alright, I'll post a main thread out on the games page. Be ready for it in a few mins. It seems to have enough attention here that it'll quickly fill and be done within the next 1-3 weeks hopefully.
